They represent a group of birdmen and birdwomen around the world who appreciate the Piper Cubs and their cousins, the Taylorcrafts, Aeroncas, Luscombes

The Cubs, flying in formation, landing on grass runways and displayed at airshows provide excitement to those who enjoy the "lost art of low-and-slow, long distance flight."

Bach's journey begins as he puzzles over design modifications for his airplane, a Piper Cub.
Perfect designs--simple and practical--seem to come to him out of the blue.
But one day when a design appears, along with a fleeting glimpse of an intriguing woman,
Bach sets out to discover the source of the visions. The journey leads to a startling destination:
a parallel universe where a British airplane manufacturer--Saunders-Vixen Aircraft Company Ltd.--makes
superb biplanes and solves problems for perplexed aviators. There Bach meets Derek Hawthorne, his guide
through Saunders-Vixen and the new world whose possibilities are just unfolding.
There Bach also meets his muse, an unforgettable young aircraft designer named Laura Bristol, who teaches Bach
the beauty of simplicity and practicality.
